Russell is a gunner tasked with the responsibility of trying to inspire hope, and odds are good that he does this the best way he knows how: attacking. Let his 18.5 PPG and 5.0 APG in more than 33 minutes of action following the All-Star break last season serve as somewhat of a sample of what 2017-18 might have in store. Due to the Paul Pierce trade of 2013, the Nets are saddled with the task of trying to build a competitive team without the ability to add hope via the draft. So look for them to rely heavily on Russell for excitement, as wins do not seem to be on their way in the near future.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Wed Aug 23"},"playerRater30DAY":5.2,"playerRater15DAY":5.4,"positionRank":46}
